I didn't mean they were played the same, but that you can't tell the difference by listening to a song whether it's 4/4 or 4/8. It's just a preference of organization, depending on the piece and which it best fits. Although, 8/4 would be impossible to differentiate, too. I hadn't thought of that.
I think I do have a wrong concept of what the value is, though. One bar of 4/8 would be equivalent to a half bar of 4/4, then, but with twice as many beats? I think that's why I said it's twice as fast. I'm not even sure anymore.
